::: this says it all :::

I was reading Ayesha’s blog and found the link. I couldn’t resist it so I took the test. The results? Amazing! Just check it out!

You Are an Espresso

At your best, you are: straight shooting, ambitious, and energetic

At your worst, you are: anxious and high strung

You drink coffee when: anytime you’re not sleeping

Your caffeine addiction level: high

::: officially back, but reluctantly :::

Finally we are back from the week-long holiday. Unfortunately, coming back is not as easy as going off for the vacation…

First of all, there are shitload of work to be done and shitload of emails to sort through and reply. That’s always the difficult part because there are just so many emails in my inbox!! Anyway, pounding on the keyboard that I was, I managed to reply 99.99% of the junk mails, and still got 99.5% of business mail to reply.

Secondly, there are so many problems during the week long break! There were some delivery issues and also some stock problems, so I have to sort them out accordingly as well!

And then, there are so many conversation in the office! Everyone was asking me how was my break and all that crap, so I have to tell them again and again. Why can’t they just gather in the conference room and ask me all at once, and then I will just answer once and for all? Or rather, I should have tatooed those answers on my palm and when they ask me, I’ll just show them my palm and say “Talk to my hand!”

Oh! Did I forget to mention about collection? The company closing is today and a lot of customers are not able to give me the payment because (1) they just came back so they need to sort through their cash flows, (2) they paid out the bonuses to the staff so they need to collect money themselves, and (3) some really Chinese-chinese companies are reluctant to pay because they see debtors during the CNY period is a sign of bad luck.

Man, I rather just rest a few more days and let other people worry about those problems for me!

::: random conversation (2) :::

The other day received a call from a friend and the conversation was as follow

*********************************************

Kenneth: “Yo dude! Can you do something? Must promise ya?”

Me: [hesitate] “Hmmm… what do you want me to do first?”

Kenneth: “You promise first!”

Me: “Huh? How can I promise if I don’t even know what you want me to do?”

Kenneth: “Oh come on! We are brothers, so please promise me!”

Me: [slightly offended] “Well, I cannot promise you if I don’t know what you want me to do. What if you ask me to die? Do I just die like that?”

Kenneth: “Aiya! We are brothers! Do you think I’ll ask you to die?”

Me: [offended] “So…?”

Kenneth: “Come by my house this Tuesday night. We are going to have a gathering.”

Me: “Hmmm… I might have a meeting with an outstation friend. I let you know later?”

Kenneth: “Don’t be like this la. You promised already!”

Me: [very offended] “I didn’t promise you. But I’ll try my best…”

Kenneth: “Don’t act like a big boss and forget about your friends can? Remember to bring one bottle of wine k? No beer please!”

Me: “I will see if I can make it…”

*********************************************

Well, I don’t like to be forced and basically I was very fierce at him during the conversation. He is already 31 years old and yet acting like a child. Damn…
